What did you do for yourself today?
I don't know about you, but I came to this forum to HEAL! So.... Today, instead of venting my confusion and pain, I want to share and hopefully coax others to simply share what they did to look after themselves today.
Today I listened more to an audio book I am enjoying (The Power of Now), I took a 45 minute jog, and I made a delicious meal for dinner! Meatloaf! Yum!

I'm breathing. Waiting. Letting go of all my potential worries. All of them.
Healing first. I'm physically exhausted.
I let myself be lazy this evening.
I ordered supplements that greatly help me. It'll be here Tuesday afternoon.
I'm listening to KLOVE. Drinking water.
Making a cuppa tea.

I went SHOPPING! I bought the kids some clothes, the dog some bones, and for *myself* I bought some new MASCARA! 
It was nice to just spend the afternoon wandering around the store. I normally don't care much for shopping, but since I've been so broke lately...it was nice to finally have some damn money. UGH....I could complain about the money thing..but I won't. HP came through, as always...so I'm going to be grateful about it.

Middle daughter and I jumped around dancing to no music, I snuggled with youngest, indulged oldest stories of their day, and then did body weight training, and recumbent bike with moddle child. I read through a lot of vent topics, vented myself, but pulled 2 VERY healing things out of all the venting and sharing. Which I applied...
1. Instead of being rejected, I am a released hostage.
2. Go to the mirror and tell yourself you love you.
I told myself I love me and have a better outlook considering I am recently released!

This is a good thread.
Today I went for a walk with my dogs, made myself a smoothie for breakfast, wrote in my journal, cleaned my house and rested (still getting over the flu).
The past few weeks I've really been feeling kind of bleeehhh, but today I really felt like I turned a corner. Hopefully it will last!

After we said goodbye to Mr. Grits for another month or so, we came home and the girls and I watched a movie. After dinner, all the kids got to watch another movie I rented from Redbox while I worked on homework and bawled my eyes out to The Fault in Our Stars. Tonight I made sure to do my full bedtime routine, including putting lavender oil on my feet for good rest. The first day the hubs is gone is always the hardest.

I was being told I was double-posting, so I backed out, and now there's no post. Hmph. Anyway, after I said goodbye to Mr. Grits for another month-and-a-half, I watched a Tinker Bell movie with both DD's. After dinner, all the kids watched a movie I got out of Redbox while I bawled my eyes out to The Fault in Our Stars (I was doing homework, too. When I could see to read, anyway.). Tonight before bed I made sure to do my full self-care routine, including lavender oil on my feet for good rest. I've been forgetting to use my oils, and it shows. The first day without the hubs is always the hardest, so it's important that I take care of me in all the chaos.

Lovely thread, thanks.
Today I am seeing my friend for a meal, chats and giggles. I will be enjoying my new hairstyle that I had done a couple days ago. Wearing pretty clothes that I feel good in. Confidently walking into the restaurant with my head up. Then having stroll around the clothes shops, will treat myself if I see something I like. This afternoon will be relaxing in front of my telly watching shows I like without some idiot drunk talking all the way through them.
Sounds good to me!

I took my favorite exercise class and really pushed myself despite already being a little sore from yesterday's class. Then I bought a latte and a breakfast sandwich at Starbucks. I feel so peaceful and strong these days.
